Truly a one of a kind experience- this a well organized program from top to bottom. I felt welcomed and comfortable from the start, and all expectations & information was communicated very clearly. My time at the school itself was nothing short of incredible, and I already miss the daily interactions with students & staff. The homestay allows you to be safely immersed in the local community. Would 100% recommend to anyone interested, you won't regret it!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience at 3MM. Dioni is an amazing coordinator. He accommodated my timing, stayed in great communication throughout, and ensured I was having a great time. Sarah, the founder, is an incredible human and I loved assisting her. The staff are so welcoming, and despite all their responsibility, they make time to educate volunteers about the Montessori method and make you feel included in all they do. The kids are SO intelligent, respectful, loving, and truly made the experience for me. I cannot wait to return someday! Thank you for everything❀️

Honestly this volunteer experience was not what I expected it to be. The home stay has unreliable plumbing, electricity, running water, and a cockroach issue which led me to move out and find somewhere else to live a month into my stay. I did not feel like my help was needed during summer camp because the school was overstaffed. I ended up observing more than I actively participated. I was suppose to be in Cabarete for two months but because of these reasons I decided to fly home two weeks early. I wish I would have known these things before committing to coming.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the experience did not meet your expectations.
We did our best to support you and offered different ways to contribute, including creating your own activities for the children, although none were ultimately proposed. Observation is also an important part of the Montessori approach.
We were transparent about the homestay and electricity situation before your arrival, and whenever you had concerns, we were available to help. We appreciate your feedback.
